Voodoo Lab

Hey guys!

I've been having some issues with properly setting up my audio switcher with my pedals. I've attached two pictures showing what my setup was prior to putting everything in the rack, and what I have as of now (in the rack). Everything was quite and no issues with noise prior to putting it in the rack, but once in the rack there was noise, and it seemed like my Sentry noise gate wasn't gating the signal anymore.

I'll list my gear below and how I want it setup. Hopefully someone can help .

Guitar - Tuner - Wah - Out of wah to into loop 1 of GCX
Loop 1 - POG (Electro harmonix)
Loop 2 - Comp (Empress effects)
Loop 3 - OD (Keeley red dirt)
Loop 4 - Sentry (TC Electronics) - Out of loop 4 to front of amp

Amp fx loop send to loop 5 in
Loop 5 send to Sentry return - Output of sentry to Loop 5 return
Loop 6 - Chorus (Boss)
Loop 7 - Verb (TC Electronics HOF)
Loop 8 Delay (Visual sound) - Out of loop 8 to fx return on amp.

Also, I'd prefer to not use the guitar in/Feed thru on the front of the GCX. Not opposed to having to use it if it'll fix my issue, but it's more of an esthetics thing for me

Thanks for any help someone can give with this.

Hi there,
Do you need the noise gate in a loop? When I used an NS-1 Boss noisgate, I didn’t use it in a loop, I also didn’t use the buffer on the GCX.

Hope this helps if you haven’t sorted it already
